THE QUICK WAY

.

A twelve verse Junicho renga in the season of Summer, 16 June 2007

Barracks Lane Community Garden, Oxford – from the renga archive.

.

a black bucket
filled with redcurrants
making jelly the quick way

.

there are many reasons
to celebrate

.

the magistrate offers
a road safety course
instead of a fine

.

rail track closed
due to snow

.

my phone is full
of your messages
which one shall I erase?

.

on the horns of a dilemma
finding it difficult to rest

.

bent double
a pair of students seek mushrooms
lit by sunset

.

we bring my geraniums indoors
together

.

in the east end
a line of bulldozers
moves through an allotment

.

this is my home
I lie flat beneath a vast sky

.

by the light of the moon
a frog sings
in a puddle

.

rain drenches
buds and blossoms

.
